Originally expected to last fifteen years, the current age of the track is approximately double the life it was expected to have.

Due to the current poor condition of the track surface, the rubberized material has deteriorated significantly and is unlikely to withstand another year.

The total project to renew the community track is projected to be $425,000, with a combined current financial commitment by the three local governments and service clubs so far of $370,000.
